As soon as vps failes rth does nothing because tello no longer knows its whereabouts.

But I did! It says vps failed, and I push the home button and you see it change to sportmode and back.

Never try on OS, butnon Android just hold the home button a few seconds.

Yes it changes to sport mode if you have that setting activated. But it will not engage the rth autopilot without receiiving vps data.

Well actually i could do a rough RTH maneuver if IMU data is still reported, but currently i don't.

I like it !

An RTH emergency maneouver when no vGPS available by using IMU would be a great safety improvement, even if it don't works perfect
